Home Networking / Router / & WiFi Gateway Help

[Clangador]

I got a notebook yesterday and want to connect it to my wireless router, but is asks for a security key and I have no idea what that is. I already tried entering password to no avail. Help.

Login to the router and go to Wireless Settings. Under Security Options select WPA-PSK, then enter a key of your choosing in the Passphrase field and click Apply.

How do you login to the router?

Nevermind, I found the answer in another message:

Login to 192.168.1.1

User name: admin

Password: password.

Thanks it worked.

One more Question. How do I share files between computers?

[JamesR]

Click Start and Computer

Click on Map Network Drive

Map a Drive letter like X: on the other computer

Then you can use Explorer or Computer to drag and drop files from your C: drive to the X: drive which maps to the other computers hard drive.

I'm trying to connect my new netbook to the Internet. Where do I find my security key?

Did you not read the thread you posted in?  The answer is there, read up.

This is a decidedly rude and arrogant response.  This is to be a help forum - not a forum for one to validate one's technical knowledge at the expense of those seeking help.
